📸 Okay, who doesn't love a good behind the scenes?!

We recently had the joy of capturing real moments, real smiles, and real care during a photo session across our Hallock and Karlstad locations — and we can’t wait to share more with you soon!

A huge thank you to local photographer Brittany Deere Anderson Photography for beautifully showcasing the heart of Kittson: our people. From compassionate staff to welcoming spaces, every shot helps us tell the story of small-town healthcare done right.

We’re incredibly proud to feature actual staff, residents, and community members in our materials — because what we do every day is for, and with, the people right here at home. A huge thank you to all who participated!

✨ Stay tuned as we share highlights from the shoot that truly reflect our mission: neighbors caring for neighbors.

📲 Be sure to FOLLOW along, tag your friends, and help us spread the spirit of local care.

With gratitude,
The Kittson Team 💙

💉 WHY GET THE FLU SHOT?

The flu causes millions of illnesses each year in the U.S.
Hospitalization risk is higher for seniors, kids, and people with chronic conditions.

The flu vaccine helps reduce severity even if you do get sick — and helps protect others around you.

Let’s keep our communities healthy this season. 🧤🧣
